Its points of reference are Richmond in the throes of Reconstruction; the trading floors of Wall Street, where men who did not fight the war make fortunes speculating on its consequences; a Virginia plantation&#151;familiar to readers of the author's critically acclaimed Jacob's Ladder&#151;where the ruin of the South is written in wrenching detail; and the Great Plains, where the splendidly arrogant George Custer&#151;Yellowhair&#151;rides to his fate against Sitting Bull's warriors.<BR><BR>This is the story of America over twenty years of its most turbulent history. The characters are black, white, red, ex-Union, and ex-Confederate, and the principal narrator is a Santee woman, She Goes Before, who marries an ex-slave. Through her eyes we witness the hanging of her father by whites in the mass execution of 1863, Red Cloud's banquet with President Grant, and that final confrontation on the bluffs above the Little Bighorn. 1780084 2007 Canaan: A Novel of the Reunited States after the War total:25|5:5|4:11|3:6|2:2|1:1| 25 92 44 9 273544 0393062465 9780393062465 24 9 3.68 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173322406m/273544.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/273544.Canaan_A_Novel_of_the_Reunited_States_after_the_War 2 0 false Thu May 28 07:37:12 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 07:42:46 -0700 2009 more...]]> 273544 0393062465 9780393062465 24 9 3.68 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173322406m/273544.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/273544.Canaan_A_Novel_of_the_Reunited_States_after_the_War 5 0 false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 05 06:48:44 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 05 06:58:19 -0700 2007 Written about the time immediately following the Civil War.
